fairy tales teller
I think that "storyteller" means "narrador", "escritor". The "cuentacuentos" is the person who tells fairy tales.
Good luck.

Gabriela Tenenbaum (X)
: yes, I think you're right. "narrador" is not the same as "cuentacuentos" (if it's done orally, of course). However (to asker) be careful with "taleteller", that means sth.completely different!. #:))

Margaret Schroeder
: This expression would never be used in English; anyway it would be "fairy tale teller" (no "s"). The citations are obviously from non-native writers.
